Business Development and Founder's Office Intern

About the role

Aspirock provides Employer of Record and contractor payroll services across 70+ countries, with a strong focus on the GCC, and is scaling its tech and operations. This internship reports directly to a company director, with the CEO involved on business development, and offers no middle-management layer or rotation scheme. It is open to part-time study, sandwich-year placements or full-time fixed-term roles for recent graduates.

Key responsibilities

• Business development (about two thirds of the time): build target lists of international companies and recruitment agencies, qualify leads, run outreach sequences on LinkedIn and email, track responses in the pipeline, book meetings for the directors and keep the pipeline current.
• Support the director with marketing (LinkedIn posts, content, website updates, SEO), tech (setting up and testing tools, cleaning CRM data, building AI workflows), research on markets and competitors, preparation for client meetings and proposals, and general admin.

Required profile

• Dubai-based or willing to relocate.
• Currently studying, on a placement year or graduated within the last 12 months.
• Strong written English.
• Interest in B2B sales, growth or international business as a career.

Required skills

• Tech-native: comfortable with AI tools and quick to pick up new software.
• Nice to have: some marketing, content or no-code experience.

To apply, send your CV and a short note (3 to 5 lines) by email, covering why you want the role and Aspirock, a thing you've done that you're proud of, a task you'd do faster with AI, and your earliest start date. Compensation is aligned with experience.
